Hi there. We are going to be spending a year in Greece soon (complicated reasons), & I would really love to hear from someone based in Greece how the health system manages T-1. We’ve been based in denmark, & here it’s managed out of the regional hospital. They organise annual checkups, tho you can ask for an appt if things arise, & eye checkups are every two years. I have osteoporosis as well, so periodic dexa scans. But the GP doesn’t really handle it.

It probably affects where we should look to stay.

Input much appreciated.

Hi - I'd guess there are plenty of T1s in Greece, but as this is an English language forum, they are unlikely to be on here. I have no relevant experience or knowledge myself, and off-hand can't think of anyone on the forum who is T1 and Greek, or with enough experience in Greece.

tagging a couple of T1s who have been around a while:
